Firmware Installation
Procedure
This chapter provides information about installing and configuring FC
firmware and includes the following sections:
• Section 3.1, “FC Firmware”

The LSI Logic FC chips and host adapters contain firmware that presents
a multiprotocol service layer based on the Fusion-MPT architecture. The
FC firmware provides FCP (SCSI-3 over FC) Initiator, FCP Target, and
LAN interface services to the host system.
The FC929X.ROM file contains the firmware to operate the LSIFC929X or
LSIFC919X controllers used on the associated 2 Gbit/s LSI Logic host
adapters. When updates are necessary, LSI Logic releases new firmware
to improve the functionality or performance of these host adapters. You
may download the latest firmware from the LSI Logic web site at:
